This movie was pretty unbelievable, but to completely honest, I was more excited to watch it, because I know Infinity War is NEXT!!! #blackpanther is now one of my favorite #mcu movies! Loved doing this #reaction - Фільми й анімація
Ok so I went back and watched the end of Civil War. Totally get how Bucky ended up in Wakanda!
•
It’s hard to remember what happened in past movies when I haven’t been exposed to those characters yet!
•
Having so much fun checking out this journey with y’all! Love you guys. Can’t wait for next week!
Love watching you experience all these films for the first time. I wish I could go back and watch them all again for the first time. Infinity War is going to blow your mind dude!
This is such a good movie - Chadwick Boseman dis such a phenomenal job playing T'Challa, his performance, in a word, was regal, he just exuded royalty and leadership in every scene. What a legend, rest in peace to an amazing person both on and off the screen. We always lose the good ones for some sad reason.
Are you watching the Marvel movies in chronological order, or in order by release date?
@@RandomRoger he's going in release date per "recommended order" from marvel
Did you do Guardians of the Galaxy vol.2? Cant find it, released between Doctor Strange and Spider-Man Homecoming 🤔 They’re important for Infinity War.
"African cultures have the coolest - WTF IS IN THAT GUYS LIP?" Haha perfect encapsulation of experiencing a new culture
looool
"bury me in the ocean with my ancestors that jumped from the ships. they knew that death was better than bondage." that's a quote about how he'd rather die than be held prisoner in Wakanda for his actions. He knows hes guilty, regrets nothing, but the soldier in him would rather die than be a prisoner. I put this exact quote on the cover page of my master's dissertation on the commoditization and treatment of African enslavement sites and burial grounds.
that sounds like a badass theses, have you published it?
Did you include how your brothers in Africa are descendants of the same tribesmen who sold your ancestors for blackpowder?
"ALL OF YOU ARE WRONG" Chadwicks delivery in some of these lines were phenomal, he will be missed and impossible to replace, R.I.P legend.
Ross (Martin Freeman) & Klaue (Andy Sirkis) were the only major white actors in the film, and both were part of the Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit films. Andy played Gollum in both trilogies, Martin was the young Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit. As a result, there was a joke on set by everybody that Martin and Andy were the Tolkien White Guys.
This is my favorite of the MCU films. Which is saying a lot because I love these films. RIP, Chadwick Boseman...Rest In Peace, Rest In Power.
Ha, you beat me to it! The phrase “Tolkien White Guys” still makes me laugh every time
wait thats hilarious
"chadwick you look swole you look healthy"
was also fighting stage 3 colon cancer for 2 or 3 years while filming all his MCU entries. So that is saying a LOT
So fun fact about women and Africa... Female warriors were definitely not unheard of. IIRC the Dora Milaje are somewhat based off of the Dahomey Amazons. There's also a movie coming out, *I THINK* about the Dahomey, called "The Woman King" with Viola Davis as the Lead. It looks like it's going to be one fucking badass movie!
I want to see the movie myself, but I do hate taking history and greatly distorting it so much. In reality, it was extremely tragic, but at the same time, Africans didn't have the technology to deal with the Europeans.
@@brucenatelee its a fictional world
@@brucenatelee It is not our history, it is the MCU. If you think about a multiverse, it's just another universe with different history. There's no vibranium here, but there is there. That's only one big difference between our universes.
He put on such a strong face and performance. He was so charismatic and cool. I would have never known at all if he didn't pass away :( The fact that we now know what sort of pain he had to be in along with the treatments he must have had to go through as well, makes this performance that much better
@@joshbrosh6626 pretty sure ninjhetto is talking about the history of the Dahomey Amazons, and the upcoming movie about them
Two years and a day before this release, we lost Chadwick Boseman. We were not ready to be without him either. Rest In Power...
2 1/2 years after you mean?
Definitely after
@@jeffreymcmahon3627 I think he's referring to the release of this review. Chadwick died on August 28, 2020.
Wakanda Forever
@@peterphilly4148 that's exactly what he meant. The fact black panther came out in 2018 and these 2 geniuses up top think that he was referencing that time when it's been almost 5 years since this movie came out
Vibranium is also what Cap's shield is made of.
Yeah, in the comics Cap's shield composition is more complicated (an indestructible alloy of vibranium and steel created in a freak accident). In the MCU it was simplified to just vibranium.
Hearing of Chadwick’s death was heartbreaking and inspiring all at the same time. He was sick while making some of the best MCU movies ever. He will be missed.
Exactly!!! It's mind-blowing to watch these and his other movies and you just can't tell. He's so incredibly talented.
Yea it make me sad not gonna see him anymore 😢
And this is why i hate people.
If you recall, Alex, Klaue had his left arm torn off by Ultron in the second Avengers movie. And we'll forgive you for forgetting Bucky was in Wakanda since it's been over a month ago since you reacted to "Civil War." It was in one of the end credit scenes.
this
He didn’t recall lol
His recall game is terrible lol. He forgets stuff that just happened in 2 or 3 movies ago lol. He's prolly gonna miss half the references in Infinity War and Endgame.
@@aaronboone8097 He misses stuff that happens earlier in the same movie...
@@Baiko"wow where did that purple power come from?" literally earlier this movie tchalla tested it😂
Mbaku didn’t kill tchalla or take the herb because, although rivals and they don’t get along, they are not without honor. Mbaku knew what wa s right and earned my respect for the choice he made.
Also, Bucky was placed In cryo in Wakanda at the end of civil war!
In general, the king IS the Black Panther. T'Challa became Black Panther before he became king because his father relinquished the role as he aged, and became more embroiled in politics.
29:40 He definitely could have done that, but the fact that he didn't shows M'Baku's integrity. He's honorable and only wants to earn the throne in a fair way which is why he challenged T'Challa in the official ceremony.
Steve took Bucky to Wakanda at the end of Civil War to get his mind right. That’s why/how he’s there
Stay off your message board until next week! 😂 Spoilers always slip out for the next marvel movie you're about to watch, and to spoil infinity war would be criminal! 😆
Agreed 💯
Some answers to your questions:
-They stripped T'challa of his powers during the duels at the waterfalls so that it was an equal playing field. With the Heart-Shaped Herb in his system, it gives him supernatural strength, instinct and speed.
-This movie takes place not too long after Captain America: Civil War, hence the flashbacks to T'challa's father's death.
-Ulysses Klaue is the guy from Age of Ultron we met in Johannesburg, who had his arm chopped off by Ultron. He later turned a mining tool into a prosthetic arm with a sonic gun (as, in the comics, he was able to manipulate sound with a little satellite dish in place of his left hand).
Some thoughts:
Black Panther is still my favorite standalone movie in the MCU, though it is closely followed by an upcoming movie that you'll get to eventually (that I don't want to spoil anything about). Everything about it, but especially the juxtaposition of T'challa and Killmonger, stands out to me. Killmonger is one of the most understandable villains in the MCU, and in a way, people can empathize with his story and his motives, while also condemning his methods. T'challa, played by the late great Chadwick Boseman, is a standout in this and in every movie/project he was part of before his passing. The man changed the game for superheroes in my opinion, and paved the way for more badass films with unique cultural spins like it.
Cannot wait for you to get to Infinity War and beyond bro. Keep it up!
Bro chill
Yeah my man, Black Panther is up there for me, but I GOTS ta say, they making a mistake by not recasting doe…
@@Pilbrabandit why should I lol
I never realized the irony of Klaue being an "arms dealer".
I think you confused the North Korea and the South Korea, but okay
I was gonna say the same thing lol
yeah i said the same thing. came across super cringe ignorant of him
I was wondering because I was like “Hell yeah I want to go to South Korea!!”
“South Korea…is that a country any of y’all would want to visit?…”
Uhhhh….HELL YEAH!!!
32:59 ...you actually watched and reacted to when his sister told him that his suit would charge up kinetic energy from the same place taking multiple hits, then he would be able to redistribute it. So, when he hit the ground, that was from energy his suit had charged up. He was able to knock the tribe attacking him to the ground and go save his sister. This was one of many times throughout the film that he used that particular feature of his suit.
Great reaction Alex but for the first time there seems to be a few things you missed.
1st you have seen Klaw before in age of ultron when ultron cuts of his arm.
2nd the king and the black panther is always intertwined titles and not separate.
and most importantly in the end of civil war Bucky was frozen down in Wakanda till they found a way to get the implant out of his braind so seeing him awake shows they have succeeded. anyway hype for infinity war =)'
Respectfully, I'd like to argue against what you said about the terms of the king and Black Panther being one in the same. When Killmonger talks about exercising his blood right as a descendant of Wakandan royalty, he specifically mentions how the challenge against T'Challa is for both mantles of king of Wakanda and for the Black Panther, insinuating that they're not the same title with interchangeable names. Another piece of evidence that argues against your claim is how T'Challa's father, T'Chaka, was still considered to be king of Wakanda during "Captain America: Civil War", but T'Challa was still only referred to as the Black Panther, which he details as a mantle passed that's been passed down from warrior to warrior for generations. Again I can see where the confusion is in regards to both mantles and how they're always mentioned together and rarely mentioned separately. I remember having to do a deep dive through UA-cam and Google to figure out whether or not being king of Wakanda meant that you'd automatically be referred to as a Black Panther. But alas, they are two different titles that T'Challa has earned. Hope to see what happens later in the MCU!
@@nickhy5 agreed with this wholeheartedly 💯
@@nickhy5 it was cut for time, but there’s a deleted scene where T’Challa talks about when his father asked him to take over the mantle of black panther from him because it was getting harder and harder to fit into the costume still as he got older. They implied that the king takes on the mantle unless they choose someone else to hold it for them.
@@nickhy5 There have also been arcs in the comics where T'challa has been injured and Shuri has briefly taken his place as the Black Panther, though she relied more on tech than the heart shaped herb. Her version of Black Panther was almost the Wakandan Iron Man.
@@nickhy5 Actuly no the title of black panther can only be given to the king . so yes they are 2 diffrnt titles and are alwz mentioned as king and black panther but they do go hand in hand . and about the observation about tchalla being black panther in civil war while his dad was the king . they didnt care to explain that in this movie where is there is pre lud comic thta came before the black panther movie that explains why tchalla had the mentle at that point . i will get back to you with its name as myslf havnt read it . but have seen its mention in cinima sins and pitch meeting video of black panther . so
I'm praying that Alex makes Infinity War a two-part reaction. Way too much to miss for a single video.
As long as both parts are released at once that'd be good. Squeezing yet another week out of the series would not.
@@Linerunner99 100% agree
Ulysses Klaue was played by Andy Serkis, who did Gollum/Smeagol in Lord of the Rings.
Agent Ross was played by Martin Freeman, who was Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit.
In a movie with an almost all-black cast, you could say these guys were the two "Tolkien" white people. 😆
Don't forget Andy's awesome portrayal of Cesar in the new Planet of the Apes trilogy.
I had lived in Africa for 6 years so I loved how accurate this movie was with culture and accents and music!
Where in Africa though. It is a very big place with dozens of countries and hundreds of distinct cultures. The American and British actors did a shoddy job of their accents, especially Forest Whittaker. The closest to a legit African accent of any kind was by Danai Gurira whose parents are Zimbabweans who moved to the US. John Kani (who plays King T'Chaka) is South African so so his accent in an actual African accent. I would have liked to have seen more real African actors cast as Wakandans.
@@HighlanderReactionsZA Kenya and some people there did have British background so I guess some peoples accents in the movie sounded a little closer to that
RIP Chadwick, you truly were one of a kind and a brilliant light 😔
For reference, this movie didn't go unnoticed. This was actually one of Marvel's biggest releases and had a huge cultural effect on the black community and the Marvel Community as a whole. I still remember seeing this at Atlantic Station opening night. The black culture and support that was on display still is like nothing else I've ever experienced and I've been in the theater for every single Marvel MCU film opening since Iron Man. The only movies to come close to mimicking the feeling this give me, was Avengers Infinity War, Avengers Endgame and Spider-Man No Way Home; all of which are going to blow your mind. I would recommend refreshing your knowledge on the MCU before you get Infinity War Next week. You're about to witness the 1st part of the MCU's 10 year culmination. I.e...You're near the end of the Infinity Saga.
I know it's tough to retain everything but Klaue was in Age of Ultron, Ultron cut his arm off after he sold him vibranium
U kinda put it wrong.. he did not cut of the arm after he sold him the vibranium, cos that kinda sound as though, don't ask for payment, or I will cut of the rest of ur body parts as well. Lol.
He cut it off, bcos he mentioned that he looked alike or resembled Stark by saying: You one of his? And Ultron snaps saying, Stark is a sickness, don't compare me to Stark.
Vibranium is the same stuff Captain America’s shield is made out of, in case you didn’t make the connection.
You’d be surprised how much American music is in other places…I was in Nicaragua in Central America riding in the back of a pick up truck and they started signing T-pain in perfect English
You can trust Alex with all your secrets, cuz he straight up won’t remember 30 minutes later.
I cheated to be the first comment, just wanna say i Cant wait for your Infinity War and endgame reactions.
@Alex Hefner, granted, you’re hilarious, but thinking up jokes may be distracting you from the film...You weren’t sure if the protagonist was good or bad, despite his killing his lover in cold blood. You were confused as to why the snow king didn’t kill the king, when T’Chala allowed him to tap out, thus saving face. As a reactor, it’s more important to understand what’s going on then to be funny. Case in point, not remembering how Bucky ended up in Wakanda. I think you need to find a balance...Perhaps more observations, less “gooch” 😏
Take care
🖤🌹🖤🧛🏻♀️
Thank you so much for pointing this out.
@@nikirick
*bows deeply*
Can’t believe you forgot Klaw from Civil War. And in the comics, M’Baku is called Man-Ape. He wears a white fur gorilla suit. So that’s what his fur here represents. Jordan becomes Gold Jaguar. And “what are those” never gets old. We’ll still use it. Coachella still happens
Alex, you are understanding the pros and cons of watching this series in a short amount of time: You don't have to wait months or a year between each movie but watching them only once means you don't remember all the ways they are connected. For example: "What, why is Bucky there?". Bucky was put in stasis in Wakanda during the end credits of Civil War so they could get the Hydra brainwashing out of him.

This movie won *OSCARS* for:
Best Costume Design
Best Production Design
Best Original Score
The Snow Furman (M'baku) gained a respect for T'chala after their fight, because he inspired him to throw away his life and spared him. Hence why he didn't take the herb even though he totally would have earlier.
Omg, I can't believe we are already at Infinity War. I'm not ready to go through that pain again. But I can't wait to see Alex's reaction.
Thank you for giving him spoilers 😒😒
@@Shap0o.PlayZz Yeah, with you on that one.
I guess it's people don't think before they type anymore, as compared to thinking before you speak. The former is worse, considering the amount of time you have to consider. Damn.
Oh, both of you, get over yourselves. He knows it's coming up to the end of this particular saga. There are literally two movies left in this phase. Will he actually pay attention to my one measly comment? Most likely not. You take this waaaaaaaay too seriously. Go out, touch some grass, kiss a girl or a guy, whatever grounds you and reminds you that this is not the freaking end of the world.
@@Caeleinn "as long there are worse problems all my wrongdoings are irrelevant". Thats what you mean? Just dont write spoilers! Get over yourself and respect others who want to have a spoiler free experience.
@@Caeleinn And if he does? It's half of the things ruined, so please I request you not to do it again in the future. Is all. Oh and for your information, literally 2 movies? Nope, avengers infinity war, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Captain Marvel, Avengers Endgame, and Spider-Man Far from home. That's 5 movies, and not just 2, so we'd all appreciate it if you don't give out any spoilers at all, whether Alex reads the comment or not.
You gotta keep a better memory with these movies brother lmao everything ties in and there's always an answer from previous movies

Exactly. When he asked how Bucky got to Wakanda, I was facepalming.
The guy who played Klaue is Gollum.
The CIA guy played Bilbo.
Killmonger was like Thanos, people who did bad things for good reasons.
Both Chadwick Boseman and Michael B. Jordan played the character of Reggie Porter on the soap opera All My Children when they were younger.
Why are you spoiling Infinity War?
@@Shap0o.PlayZz shut up
Dude you literally saw Bucky go back into the deep freeze at the end of Capt. America Civil War Keep up :)
I’m actually from Chadwick’s hometown of Anderson, South Carolina. this man has done so much for the kids & local communities around here. Wakanda Forever, My King 🤴🏿🔥🍻
Yeah Chadwick was lost way too soon and the fact that he kept it a secret for so long until he died that will forever be in my soul cuz I'm a man too and I don't want to burden anyone
When Michel B Jordan dropped that line in the museum about how do you think your ancestors got the artifacts I wanted to scream in the theater! European and American museums are full of stollen history and getting to see that call out on such a large scale was sick. To me, Killmonger and Magneto are two of the most sympathetic villains in Marvel movies. They are 100% correct in what they want to fight against but just go about it in a crazy way.
The “dumbass looking dude” with the beard you mentioned is the same guy that sold Ultron the Vibranium in Wakanda in Age of Ultron.
"Bucky?!? How did he get to Wakanda??"
Dude... it's like you don't even watch end credits! lol End credits of "Civil War", bro...
Man, if you're not going to watch these movies more than once, you really need to take note about important characters and events for each movie
Why?
@@The_whitest_black_guy because he keeps forgetting important characters name and events?
And that's why we love Danai Gurira as Michonne in The walking Dead!
Started half hour late. Dang Alex. Way to make me feel ancient. I graduated high school in 1992.
Who would I see on the other side.. Tough call.. My parents or my husband. I miss all three of them.
I was allowed to drink alcohol in 1992!
Great time for music though! Lol.🤘🤪
I'd visit with my uncle, he got me into comics, & sci-fi. He also took me to many conventions. He's the reason I still watch Doctor Who after 40 years. He'd be fascinated by modern tech, it'd blow his mind as he died in 1989.
When T'challa (Chadwick Bosman) visits the ancestral plain is my favorite part, and the most recent time I watched this movie, when he visited the ancestral plain for the second time and his father said it was time to be reunited with him, I cried. I will miss you Chadwick! you were one of the best in these movies. I'll be watching them forever!
WAKANDA FOREVER!👐
It may not have been his final performance, but this movie and it's message, especially that "more connects us" speech at the end, serve as a fantastic end note to Chadwick's life. From what little I know of him, Chadwick was absolutely the incarnation of Black Panther's message here, he seems to have been all about equality, empathy, kindness, and elevating others. Was it intentional that you recorded and uploaded this around the 2-year anniversary of his death?
Those "bumps" on Erik Killmonger would be from a process called scarification, which is a real thing.
when the young killmonger said "everbody dies , i just life around here" he was right especially in the ghettos of america in the 90's and yes a lot of people felt the same way killmonger did
which is sad
Yeah, it's not that he doesn't have empathy, it's that he's been inundated with so much death and loss, he's numb. He's an example of why it's wrong of Wakanda to close their eyes to the troubles of the World.
I would go see my great grandfather again. I knew him growing up but there was too much of an age gap for me to really appreciate him. He was an incredibly wise and powerful man, I could've learned a lot from him, but I don't think I was mature enough and by the time I was he was so old that he wasn't fully himself. Now that I'm an adult I'm sure that if I was able to see him again i'd learn so much wisdom and gain his blessing. Rest in Peace Great Grandad.
I was lucky enough to go see this in theaters the energy inside that theater was addictive super impactful one of the best movies. R.I.P Chadwick.
one of the best part of this movie is the score and soundtrack. totally caught the vibe perfectly. Kendrick Lamar did the soundtrack and it is a straight up banger to this day.
That part in Infinity War where Darth Vader comes out will blow your mind!😱
Captain America blowing up the Death Star is the chef's kiss.
Really guys.. I mean we are going this route? 🤷🏻♂️😂😂
Today is my birthday so I’m so glad to see a new marvel reaction. LOVE U ALEX
I'd definitely go see my mom, grandma, and both of my grandpas. Thank you for continuing your marvel reactions, they brighten my week every time I see them🤗
Rest In Power, Chadwick🙏🏻
The German with one arm is the same one that stole the Vibranium a while back, and that’s the vibranium that Ultron was buying from him, when he cut off his arm
I really want more movies where a black cast isn't just telling another slave/Jim Crow/hood story. Some exist, like Raising Dion, but most don't. Also, the Dora Milaje are said to be based on the Mino of the Dahomey tribe in Africa. While there is a movie coming out about them, the truth is that the story of them was a lot more tragic, than the movie is assumed to imply. Against the French, they were almost wiped out while only killing 6 French soldiers. The bayonets reached out so much farther than the swords the Mino were using. Another also said that their job did involve kidnapping people for slavery, which was very common in the world at the time. There are many interesting stories out there, though. Warrior queens like Nzinga Ndambe and Amina, a Congolese king who helped free many Brazilian slaves, to Mensa Musa being the richest man in history. Most aren't really explored.
as long as hollywood and the media keep pushing the "oppression" narrative, that's what you're gonna keep seeing.
I think the main factor isn't in fault of those producing, I think it's the viewers fault. You see how people go crazy everytime they think "woke" and "forced diversity" is a motivation for anything. It's those same loud mouthed, knuckle walkers attempting to oppress that prevent the growth in the story telling.
@@ivankawnartist what does that have to do with anything?
@@craigime Seriously, that's your response? 🙄 Try having a conversation as opposed to pretending.
@@ivankawnartist seriously? Was my question too hard for you to understand? Get some therapy🤡
Alex, rewatch Captain America: Civil War. This is almost a direct connection to Black Panther.
Absolutely right
Some fun facts about this movie:
1. MBJ improvised the “hey auntie” in the throne room
2. MBJ is a huge anime nerd and if you look closely his outfit resembles that of Vegeta from Dragonball
3. MBJ is the 2nd actor to play Johnny Storm/Human Torch in a Fantastic 4 movie prior to joining the MCU, the first being Chris Evans
4. Since Martin Freeman and Andy Serkis were both in the Lord of the Rings franchise and the only white members of the cast, the people on set would often refer to them as the Tolkien White Guys
Okay, "Tolkien White Guys" is hilarious.
I never heard the "Tolkien White Guys" thing. That's hilarious..
Cap took Bucky to Wakanda at the end of Civil War because Bucky believed he was still a threat if Hydra could just reactivate him like Zemo did. So he froze himself until they could figure out a way to de-brainwash him.
You're right bro! Yes this film was amazing... and is the ONLY superhero movie, action movie that my Mom ever watched in the movie theater... and talked about for days with everyone. Chadwick Boseman was born a year after me in 1976. Also, most of the plot in this movie follows quickly after the events in Captain America: Civil War (when Black Panther was introduced).
Born in 76, saw it in the theater w my mom, too! Only Marvel film she's ever seen. We both wept at its beauty, at Chadwick's powerful performance and gentle heart. I'll never forget it.
YES! MARVEL MONDAY IS BACK! The only reason to survive a monday... Thank you Alex - you are great at this and also motivate me (a bit) in your other videos. As a Swede I'm proud that fellow Swede Ludwig Göransson made the music for this and WON an OSCAR for it!
Black Panther won an Oscar for costume design!!! Well deserved!!! They also won Best Original Score and Best Production Design!!! The first Oscars for any Marvel project :D
The guy smelling the weapon plays Gollum and his voice in Lord of The Rings
Remember, at the end of Civil War, Bucky went to Wakanda to be healed, and then Cap went and busted his 'team' out of prison.
"African culture is like the cooles- WHAT THE FUCK IS IN THAT GUY'S LIP???" 😂😂😂😂
I am so glad this was posted today, had such a shitty day I forgot it was Marvel Monday then I come home and check UA-cam and there it is. Made my night.
I get emotional watching this knowing Chadwick Bosman isn’t with us anymore. While it’s not on my list of top favorites, it’s one of the most visually stunning movies I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait for Infinity War, it’s wild. 😄
Shuri is 16 at this point in the MCU and the smartest person, smarter than Bruce and Tony and this was confirmed by the Russo brothers. She's a certifiable genius who is head of Wakanda's technology and science departments and was encouraged by T'Challa from a young age to explore it as he's also quite smart himself
Dude, thank you for Marvel Mondays! It's been such a fun re-watch of the all the movies, and this one is top five for me. It's got so much style in every aspect and everyone's performances were fantastic. Can't wait for next week, Alex. It's going to be something.
From your live chat, splitting Infinity War and Endgame into two parts each is a great idea!
It's so good, you almost forget it's a Marvel movie! The world was not ready!
Growing up, T’Challa was one of my favorite characters. When I got to see Wakanda on screen for the first time, I was full on crying. My wife was so confused as to why, since the movie was barely starting. It’s so amazing to have the privilege to see things we love brought to life in a way we never thought possible.
The song is actually The Weeknd with Kendrick Lamar. I like it a lot. Also hard to imagine that Chadwick Boseman filmed this while having cancer.
Fun fact...welll not fun really.... Even during the filming of this movie, Chadwick was already sick and dying but never told anyone. This is why this film will forever be his legacy.
"The child that is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel it's warmth." - Ancient African Proverb
Great reaction but I'll argue on your initial confusion over whether Killmonger was good or bad. From his intro, he poisoned a museum curator because her ancestors took items from another culture. Then he takes a mask of another culture - not even for education's sake but because he was just "feeling it". Not only did he kill someone, he did the same exact thing he spoke against.
Michael B Jordan was the best thing about that film for me and his final line was just so so good
Yeah. the line hits differently to black people. A lot of tears came during that scene because while he was a villain he was also right about some things, but horribly misguided and angry.
Rest in peace Chadwick Bosemen, he was one of greatest
Wakanda forever
Man, I love watching these MCU replays with folks who’ve NEVER seen it… Infinity War next??? Mannnnn…

OMFG!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!! I swear to God I feel like a little kid on Christmas Morning waiting for next week Alex. I've seen all these movies but the absolute excitement is just crazy.
Anyways now that I'm done ranting about next week I'll go back to the movie 😁
So I just finished the review and I'm glad to see you really loved Black Panther. If I may make a recommendation though Alex go back and re-watch all of the infinity saga before you do your infinity war reaction. There are a few details relevant to the upcoming movie littered throughout that will make much more sense once you watch infinity war. I only say that cuz you said in your review that there are so many things that happen that makes you think back.
You finally get to see the pay off from 10 years of story telling.
I can not freaking wait to get to Infinity War and Endgame! This has been such a great journey.
Killmonger is such a great bad guy because he's not really a bad guy. He's an antagonist... but he also isn't wrong. It's just the way he wants to solve the problem that is wrong. That's good writing.
I didn't realize there was a second channel for movie reactions until the other day, I'm now subbed and rung the bell 😎👍💙
I'm so pumped for Infinity War. Possibly the best one of the series.
Infinity War is what we've been waiting for! Do it in 2 parts please
YOU. ARE. NOT. READY
Ads you might recall, Bucky was taken to Wakanda at the end of Civil War, in hopes of curing his brainwashing; they made it fairly clear in the end credit scene that Nakia succeeded in doing so.
You mean Shuri ;)
Best day of the week. Alex's Marvel Movie Mondays...had to work over so I missed the premiere but...coming home...grabbing my hooch (and my gooch) is awesome! :)
If they dont strip him of his powers for the fight the fight would be hilariously unfair.
alex this is finally it!!! congratulations on reaching Avengers: Infinity War!! oh and btw, please ignore any spoilers bro
I enjoy your enthusiasm. Despite some of the other comments, I find you personality entertaining.
I’m here to be entertained, not to criticize.
Keep it up.
There is only one Black Panther. Killmonger was the Golden Jaguar.
The movie has to use pop culture references to ground it in present time. Most of these characters in the MCU were created around the time of your grandparents era, when they were kids.
Yes, you should remember when Bucky was taken to Wakanda. At the end of Civil War...
We're in the homestretch, let's go!
One of the best origin stories to this day, Black Panther is a phenomenal masterpiece! Still can’t believe it has been 2 years, it still hurts watching this movie, we were never ready to be without him. WAKANDA FOREVER!!! 🖤
I noticed that you are genuinely a smart guy. With great sense of humor!
Stumbled across your channel from other reaction channels I watch... very good bro! Love energy, sarcasm and how you get the emotions n feelings of characters... new subscriber 🙌🏽
Welcome to the channel man! It’s gonna be a ride 🤣👊🏼🖤
@@alexhefnerstvmovievault I'm loving the marvel Mondays 😍 I've seen them all a million times and always love newbies watching them, and seeing their reactions so I can wait for your journey 😀
I think there`ll be a lot of gooch holding your part during the next film. Infinity War is the magnum opus in the Avengers franchise (IMHO). Endgame gets a lot of the praise as a technical achievement, but Infinity War is one of the most perfectly paced action films of all time. I wished I could see it again for the first time, but you will have that pleasure.
One suggestion: talk over the action, not the dialogue. You miss so much by cracking jokes when they're giving explanations and dropping story beats.
Yeah 🤷🏻♂️💯😀😀
Ditto
Yeah this reaction pissed me off lowkey like I hate people that would rather crack jokes than pay attention, we are watching you react to the movie so actually react to it
@@Boibluu Exactly like he misses some of the most basic stuff by just paying attention
@@Boibluu weird thing to get pissed off about. More of an annoyance than anything
Almost caught up with everything, Andy serkis is awesome as a villain
Remember in phase 1-2 he thought those movies were the best and so innovative cgi wise. Welcome to the hood side and it’s only going to get better from here lol
